THE MOXTICELLO SHOOTING
AFFAIR.
TBSTIMONY or H. L. CORDON.
Front the MontictUo Tim**, Oct. ItK.
The examination in the case of the
State against Gordon was npt eon*
eluded until Tuesday. A vast amount
of testimony was taken, a considera
ble portion of which had but little
bearing on the main question. Mr.
Gordon himself occupied the wit
ness stand for several hours on
Saturday and gave a very volum
inous history of the difficulty between
him and Desmond. We print below
as much of his testimony as we have
room for. After detailing the efforts
he had made to collect the rent due
from Desmond, he stated that heplac
ed a writ of attachment in Constable
McCrory's hands in the afternoon of
September 13th. The subsequent oc
currences he describes as follows:
I then went*over to my place (the
Descent house) to* tea and after tea
sat talking with Con Desmond and
his cousin Ellen. About 8 o'clock
McCrory came and knocked at the
door and was admitted. I went out
with him and he asked what he
should do. I told him substantially
as he stated in his evidence. I did
not go to the saloon, but stayed up
town until he got possession of the
goods. I then went back to the De
scent house and sat and talked per
haps an hour before I went to bed. I
have stayed there several times since
Ellen Desmond has lived there- this
summer, and occupied the front room
up stairs with Con Desmond, ofwhich
act William Desmond was aware.
Con and I went to bed. I have been
suffering many months from catarrh
and nervous prostration and sleep
very lightly. I had got into a doze,
however, when I heard the crack of a
pistol in front of the house. I was
awake in an instant, and got up be
tween the first and second shots. I
raised the lower right hand corner of
the window curtain, near the foot of
the bed, dropped on one knee, keep
ing my body behind the wall, and
looked out. It was about four o'clock
in the morning and neither dark nor
daylight At first*! could not dis
tinguish small objects across the
street, but after a moment I could.
The first thing that attracted my at
tention was a flash. It was very
nearly in front of the gate and a lit
tle out in the street. I saw a man
standing there and saw him fire three
or four times in my direction. I
heard the balls strike the house and
heard the window chink, and thedent
glass fall on the floor beside me Af
ter firing his last shot he took two or
three steps towards the river and
peered around the corner as if ex
pecting some one to come from that
direction. He then moved off, walk
ing rapidly and looking around once
or twice. When he stepped out after
firing I recognized him it was Wm.grown
Desmond. And when he movedthat
away I noticed his gait particularly
to see if he were intoxicated, but I
could observe nothing that indicated
it.
The next morning as I was coming
out of the post office, accompanied by
Constable Holler, my attention was
called to Messrs. Mitchell and Over
ton who were coming across the street.
I was looking them in the face as
they were coming. There was a rush
of a person past Holler to the front
of me and I received a heavy blow
from William Desmond. I hardly
recognized him as I receivedtheblow.
The blow was at the right side of my
head, across the butt of my ear andthat
neck. It blinded me for an instant
and came very near knocking me
down. It produced a sharp pain and
I .threw my left hand to my head in
voluntarily. I was knocked into the
left hand corner of the recess of the
postoffice door, I think past and be
hind Holler. I had on my overcoat
and was walking out with my hands
in tW pockets.- -As soon as I could
see I observed Desmond on the plat
form (sidewalk) about opposite the
other corner of the recess and about
the middle of the sidewalk. He was
pulling his revolver out of his hip
pocket. The expression on his face
was brutal. I had a revolver in my
out side right hand overcoat pocket,
which I had just put in there after
purchasing the cartridges. I drew it
as quick as I could, cocking it at the
same.time. .Desmond stepped back a
step or two and was in the act o*persede
raising his revolver when I fired.
My first fire was without aim and
without bringing my revolver to an
ordinary shooting position. I.fired
to disconcert Desmond and break his
aim. I did not think whether I was
going to hit him or not. He dodged
when I fired and seemed to be discon
certed* I think he and I were both
backing when my second fire was de-concerning
livered—I towards Mealey's and he
towards the other end of theplatform.
Before he recovered from the discon
certion of myfirstfiremy pistol was
cocked again and ready for business.
He drew his revolver up, aimed it at
me and I fired. His shot and mine
were nearly, if not quite simultane
ous. I recollect distinctly the buzz
of his bullet past my ear. It passed
over my shoulder and I felt the air
on my left cheek. I kept my eye
steadily on Desmond from the time
the firing began till it closed, except
when he was behind the door of the
harness shop where I could not see
hinj. Desmond was opposite the har
ness shop door when I fired the sec
ond time and
WM c\m to
y^t,
office door, but towards Mealey's from
the door. then leaped inp theno
street, keeping my eye and pislol on
the harness shop door into which
Desmond had just passed. I backed
partly towards Desmond's saloon and
out into the street and was from 12
io 18 feet from the platform when I
saw Desmond re-appear at the door,
exposing nearly the whole of his per
son. He had his revolver in his
hand, aimed in mydirection. I fired.
I knew from his movements that my
shot had taken effect. He doubled
down and jumped back out of sight
I kept my revolver aimed at the
door, and swung around across and
little up the street, -making1' the dis
tance all the white greater between
him and mano* sttlr ^rfirlhg^the
door with my 'revolver. Desmond
stuck his arm but1 Of the door as I
swiihg^arountf^ritb1 tne* street and
frreti/'I thought two or three times,
but did not expose anything but hisfertile,
arm. As I got pretty well across the
street, Desmond suddenly came part
ly in view, at the shop door, with his
revolver aimed in my direction. I
fired again and kept on walking to
wards upper town, with my revolver
pointed at the door. As I fired Des
mond dodged back. I do not think
he fired. If he did his shot was sim
ultaneous with mine. I then saw a
man running rapidly np the walk
from Mealey's store, towards the har
ness shop, but I did not take my eye
off the door where Desmond was.
As the man ran up to the door I
threw up the muzzle of my revolver,
for I was afraid in my nervousness I
might explode it and hit him. I then
saw that it was Dan Dearborn and
saw him take hold of Desmond and
almost the same instant Deputy Sher
iff Holler caught hold of me.
Mr. Gordon's evidence was corrob
orated by Con Desmond as to the
shooting at the Descent house,- and as
to the circumstances of the affray at
the postoffice, by Messrs. Overton,
Mitchell, Holler and others.
Mr. Pish was retained by De#
mond's friends and assisted the Coun
ty Attorney on Monday and Tuesday.
The last witness was examined Tues
day afternoon and the evidence was
then briefly reviewed by Mr: Wenr
dell for the defense, and still more'
briefly by Messrs. Dilley and Pish.
At the close of the argument Justice
Carpenter at once announced that in
his opinion there was not probable
cause to believe that an offense had'
been committed, and therefore dis
charged the defendant.
It is still uncertain whether Des
mond will recover or not. His symp
toms are quite favorable at times,
and then very unfavorable again.
He is much reduced

ment.
MINNESOTA
The Hon. X. A. Willard, Presi
of the New York Dairymen's
Association, who delivered the ad
dress at the last MinnesotaState Pair,
writes as follows to Moore's Rural
New- Yorker, of which he is One of the
editors:
1
Minnesota is noted as a greatwheat
growing State, and the crop the pres
ent year has been the largest ever
in the State. It is estimated
from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000
bushels of wheat have been raised
this year above home wants, and not
withstanding the injury to the crop
from bad weather during harvest, at.
least from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000
bushels can be furnished for export.
During the early part of the harvest
fine weather prevailed, but for the
last few weeks rain has been frequent,
and farmers have had great difficulty
in securing the crop. There are var
ious estimates in regard to the per
centage of damage which the wheat
crop has sustained throughout the
•State, but persons who have been re
cently over the State, and who are
abundantly competenttojudge, state
from 10 to 15 per cent will cov
er all loss. The majority of those
with whom we conversed put the dam
age at 10 per cent, and 15 per cent
was the highest estimate given/-
Spring wheat is almost exclusively
grown, as, on account of the light
fall of snows, winter wheat is apt to
kill out The somewhat recent intro
duction of an improved process for
grinding Minnesota1 spring wheat
produces a flour that is unsurpassed
for its excellence, and Minnesota flour
now leads the market. s,
I was shown in one of, the, mills of
St. Paul specimens of cracked wheat
far surpassing anything heretofore
seen in this kind of food. The. pr^,
ees3 of manufacture is anew one, and
as the product far excels that usually
on the market, it must soon be exten?
sively introduced, and eventually su
the common article.
Cheese was mainly represented by
one factory, but the qualitycompared
favorably with much that is made in
New York, thus^showingthatthe nat
ural grasses of Minnesota' are capable
of yielding a product that is meaty
and pure in flavor. it o.-
Frora what we saw and learned
the character of lands in
the State and its- water, we have no
doubt the State is well adapted to
Jurying, and the time must wme
when this interest will be largely 4H
veloped here. ~:"~T~T"• T"

tributed over its surface. -The water
is clear, sweet and cool, and with the
nutritious grasses and natural.mead
ows 'in, ,"certain,' locations dairying
could even how be ^easily, prosecuted.
Dr. Day, in his report of the State
Fish.Commission, sayi :—«& cfirernf

less than 1,6.01,340 acres of inland
lakes alone. Assumingthat the State
contains 83,500 square miles, or 53,-
440,000 acres, it will be seen {hat we
have nearly three and a third acres
of water to every 100 acres of land."
The capacity of this vast water sur
face for modifying the temperature
and supplying good/ healthful water
for stock, in. additiontothenumerous
streams and-springs, must give unus
ual facilities for the successful prose
cution of dairy husbandry. To car
ry on dairying successfully, clean,
8weet
water is of the first importance,
and it should be located so as to
bethey
convenient for stock. Many of the
lakes are small, and occupy only a
few acree, but the short* arefirmand
pebbly, and the waters are cold and
clear as crystal, and ^jrt such as
would adom the grounds of a sub
urban residence. v:* \'w.i:«-^:' fcfci
The soil of Minnesota is deep and
and the cultivated grassesgrow
in great luxuriance wherever they
have been introduced. At present
vast quantities of hay can be cut
from the natural meadows or moist
bottomlands. The grasses on. these
meadows are nutritious, and the yield
not unfrequehtly is from two and a
half to three tons and more per acre.
We are satisfiedfromwhat wehave
seen of the natural grasses of the West
that they are capable of producingan
excellent quality of milk—miik of
good ilavpr. The idea has generally
prevailed, and especially at the West,
that it is necessary" to have the "tame
grasses'' to get good milk, and when
faulty milk is: found the blame is
commonly attributed to the feed. In
most cases, however, which havecome
under our observation, the cause of
imperfect milk in the new States
comesfrombad water—that standing
in swales and boggy places, where
stock are Obliged to wallow in theor
"mud and mireto quench theirthirst"
It seems true the food which a cow
eats has much to do in controlling the
flavor of her milk, but"there is: noth
ing in the natural grasses of the West
that is objectionable. Where the,
wild onion prevails', or other .strong
scented weeds are eaten by sto^k, they
will'of course impart a' taint to the
milk, but not so of the prairie orwild
grasses, as we have repeatedly verified
in our experience while traveling ex
tensively oyer the States west of the
Mississippi, We allude to this mat
ter here in order to correct some er
roneous impressions among our West
ern friends, many of whom- seem to
think that the "tame grasses," or cul
tivated grasses of the East, are all es
sential in producing good butter and
cheese. It may be profitable to intro
duce cultivated grasses in many lo
calities, but where the' natural grass
of the West are productive and nu
tritious we should not advisea change
There are vast tracts of land in
Minnesota that lie opento'the com*,
mons, and can be employed for stock.
The winters in Minnesota are cold,
but the dryness- of the atmosphere
enables onetoendure much lower
temperature than in the more humid
atmosphere of New York. There is
much less snow than in New York,
and in the vicinity of St. Paul it is
not uncommontohavegood wheeling
during the greater part of the winter.
And unlike some,b?^tie^Western
States further South,we are told there
is less mud, the roads drying off with
great rapidity. This feature we es
pecially noticed' when riding out in
the country after heavy rains.
